House of Blood

Chapter Fifteen.

Billy glared across the table at Bo. Bo glared back. "It was definitely something she liked.. Just not from him." Freddy said. "Can't you act like adults around here!" Hannibal yelled from the other room. "Kieran, can you help me with dinner?" I got up carefully, the gash in the back of my calf showing angry red as I limped. Hannibal acknowledged me as I stepped into the kitchen. "It really is a bad cut.. Did you get it cleaned out?" He asked. I nod. "I'm fine. Tex helped me." I said. "They really should grow up.." Hannibal sighed, looking at the doorway. "It's kinda true. What Freddy said." I whisper. Hannibal looked over. "What?" He asked. "I said, what Freddy said was kinda true. That I'm a bit of a slut." I said. He sighed. "You can't agree with all the negative things everyone says. You know that, right?" He aasked. "Yeah." I answer. "What did you need help with?" I ask.  "I needed to get you away from them."  He said. "Aw, you care." I smile. He glanced over his shoulder. "Well, you can set the table." He said. I reached up to get the plates. He looked over and had to look twice. My shirt had fallen away from the marks on my neck and shoulders. I froze. "Are you okay?" "Mostly. Hurts down there a bit but, that's cause Michael yknow." I said. He stared at the marks a second longer, then went back to making dinner. Beef stew, it looked like. I hoped it was beef, at least. He noticed me looking, and reassured me, "It's not a human." tasted it, and added more seasoning. I left him to cook, and went downstairs. The Lost Boys jumped on me. I forced them off. "I can't tonight, okay? Maybe tomorrow." I said, pushing past them through to my room. I grabbed my phone off the charger and checked it. My friends were starting to send tons of messages to the group chat.

Me: 'Guys calm down, I'm safe.'

Lilly: 'Where are you? Call.' 

I sigh and press the call button. "Hey." I said, laying on my bed. "Where are you? You've been gone for weeks." She said. "Yeah, I'm planning to try to come home for a while, but I'm not staying. I moved in with a few guys..." I reply. "Guys. As in plural." "Yes, plural. Hang on.." I dropped the phone to go get Dwayne. He came with me before I asked. He climbed on top of me when I sat down on the bed. I let out a soft whimper when he kissed my neck. "Stop, I have a friend on the phone. I just need you to tell her I'm fine." I said, pushing him off and handing him the phone. "Uhh, Kieran, you good? Or should I hang up?" Lilly asked over the phone. "Yes." Dwayne said. "No, no." I say. "Who's the guy?" "This one is Dwayne.." I said. "Hey. She's fine so you can hang up now." Dwayne told her. I take my phone back. Dwayne was still holding me down. "There's three others, I think they're out for dinner, though." I said. "Why didn't they take you?" Lilly questioned. "Well, it's takeout so they're picking it up." I lied. "Oh. Well, have fun." She said. I hung up. Dwayne tried to kiss me again. I pushed him off and went back upstairs  for dinner.

Everyone except Brahms, Hannibal, and Vincent were seated. Vincent and Hannibal were setting the table. I sat down and started eating. It was pretty good. The table was mostly quiet. I ate quickly so I could be downstairs before the others were home. I heard them land in the yard and I put my bowl in the sink, running down the stairs, closing the doors behind myself. Dwayne didn't look up and I bolted past him, into the hallway. David banged the door open, Paul and Marko laughing. They all had blood on them, still. I saw David hand Dwayne a dead rabbit. Dwayne thanked him and went to his room. I was a little worried.  "Hey there.." David said, pinning me to the doorway. I hiss like a cat. He laughed and grabbed my face. "Don't hiss at me, little kitty.." He purred to me, going down to kiss my neck. I felt his fangs pierce my skin, he groaned, pushing his body closer to mine, until Paul yelled "Get a room" at us and I let David drag me to his room. I stripped and let David at me, apparently I looked sad or something, cause he stopped, sitting on top of me. "Something wrong?" He asked. "Meh. Freddy called me a slut, so." I reply. He hesitated. "Do you want me to stop..?" He asked. "No." I tell him, putting my arms around his neck. He bit into mine and kept going, the both of us becoming sweating, moaning messes tangled together, finally stopping at around 3:30 in the morning. 

I woke up with his hands over my breasts and his head between my shoulders at around 9 AM, and he was still asleep. I felt weak, and my neck hurt. I couldn't feel my crotch anymore, probably definitely David's fault. We were still naked. I got up and tried to wake David. He did not wake up. I dressed and went to go find the other Lost Boys. Dwayne was asleep and the only sign of the dead bunny was a pile of bones on the floor. I cleaned up the bones but the skull was intact so I decided to ask Hannibal if he could help me clean it. I threw the rest of the bones away. Dwayne also did not wake up. Neither did Paul or Marko. Chia followed me through the basement. I went upstairs, holding the doors open for Chia, and found Michael and Hannibal sitting at the table. "Hello. Why do you have a rabbit skull?" Hannibal asked. "It's Dwayne's. Can you clean it..? Also, none of them are waking up?" I said, a note of concern entering my voice. "Well they went hunting last night. They're sleeping so heavily because they're hungover, basically." He said. "Oh." I sat down and put the skull on the table. "Poor thing." I sigh, staring at it. Hannibal helped me clean it and I thanked him, heading upstairs to find Billy. He pulled me into his room before I knocked. "Good morning." I said.
